A careful route through a complex catalogue

FactGrid remains the authority. This interface makes its tablet records easier to discover and read without flattening different editions into one transcript.

  1. Catalogue

    Locate a catalogue record

    Search names, FactGrid QIDs, and supported identifiers. Narrow results by current holding, findspot, or period when the data is recorded.

  2. Witnesses

    Keep editions distinct

    Inspect identifiers, physical description, provenance, holding, language, and text witnesses—while seeing omissions plainly.

  3. Provenance

    Verify in FactGrid

    Every record and edition keeps a route back to FactGrid or its external source, where provenance and revision history belong.

Start with a documented example

Prag I 437 is a FactGrid tablet record with several linked textual editions—useful for seeing how sources remain distinct.
